Just had a phone call from the hospital. Colin has asked me not to go in today. He is very poorly and shattered. He has asked for something to help him sleep. So the lovely nurse phones me and relayed this message. Feel physically sick, but i understand that there is no point in the journey just to watch him in a drug induced sleep. Melissa has just informed me that it is 8000 airmiles to RIO.
I need a bit of luck for Colin. He needs to clear these infections. I want it to be six months time, I want him to be home. I want, I want, I want.
Colin need to be home. His girls need him home.
I need a drug induced sleep. Oh well, at least I will have time to wash the kitchen floor today.
i am thinking of you always charlotte and praying for colin. i really hope this rest will help him to pull through. love rebecca
ReplyDeleteHi Charlotte et al
ReplyDeleteI so wish I could wave the magic wand for you and Colin. What ever I say is so little to how we all feel and so inadequate. We are all thinking of you and the girls and realise just how unprepared we all are for circumstances such as this. Are thoughts are with you all.

Charlotte, sorry to be the bearer of more bad news but 8,000 airmiles is only going to get you to Luton....you'll need another 72,000 miles to make it to RIO (and even worse, you'll need to turn right on the plane not left!).....But never fear I have 71,224 miles on my card which I would more than gladly give you....top that up with a few flights between Edin-Glasgow for your next visits to see Col this week and you'll soon have enough ;0) Fingers crossed to Colin getting through these horrid infections xxx
ReplyDeleteCome on Colin, you can get through this. You're the one who keeps me going these days! You are stonger than I could ever be in your situation and an inspiration to every one of us, waiting and willing you to get better. Stay positive all of you. We are all here to support you. Lots of love. XXX
ReplyDeleteSorry today was a bad one.I'll say an extra wee prayer tonight.x
ReplyDeletego clean the kitchen floor and make a good job of it "Colin would" and be proud of it. Do the job and get on with life, He is fighting and you must too he will win but only with our help

Colin mentored me for a long time. He made me pause and think hard often. I miss our conversations. I pray for you and him constantly.He has been a great insipiration and always will be. Stay strong Charlotte. It is amazing what positive thoughts are capable of .. no matter how weak they may sound sometimes... Hang in there.
